These days, the temperature was getting higher and higher.
At noon, the scorching sun shone brightly, wantonly spreading its passion.
The caravan left, and the inn's business quieted down again.
Fang Yuan stepped into the dining hall, immediately attracting the attention of the waiters.
A familiar face immediately ran over, a flattering smile on his face: "Ah, young master, you're here! Please come in and have a seat. "
"Give me a jar of wine, a kilo of beef, and a few side dishes." Fang Yuan stepped into the dining hall, walking towards his usual position by the window.
The waiter's face showed a difficult expression: "Young master, I'm sorry, the last time the caravan came, the shopkeeper sold the green bamboo wine. Now we don't have this wine here. "
Fang Yuan nodded, not surprised: "Then give me a jar of rice wine, and tell the shopkeeper to brew more green bamboo wine this year, I want to order a hundred jars. As for the deposit, you can calculate first and report to me. "
Now that the Liquor worm had been exposed, and no one was suspicious, there was no need to worry about buying wine.
"Okay, I will definitely pass on your words! Young master, you can rest assured. "The waiter patted his chest, his tone confident.
Soon, the wine and dishes were served.
Fang Yuan ate and drank while looking out the window.
The hot weather, coupled with the fact that it was time to eat, there were few people on the streets.
The sun shone on the ground and the lush green bamboo houses.
Some barefoot, muddy mortal farmers walked in front of them, carrying shovels and shoulder poles. Obviously they had just finished their farm work and were rushing home.
Two children, in front of them holding a small windmill on a bamboo frame, ran quickly with their little legs. The ones behind chased, crying. It seemed that the urchin in front had snatched the windmill.
At this time, two young Gu Masters, wrapped in green belts, walked quickly, looking like they were in a hurry.
"Scram, don't block the way!" A Gu Master pushed the farmer in front of him.
The farmers hurriedly evaded.
"Hmph." The two young Gu Masters walked over with cold arrogance.
Fang Yuan watched, his eyes slightly absent-minded, a part of his mind already divided into the aperture.
In the aperture, the water membrane flowed silently, the green copper primeval essence sea surged with waves.
The Liquor worm was bobbing up and down in the Primordial Sea. Sometimes it rolled around comfortably, and sometimes it completely curled up into a ball.
The Spring and Autumn Cicada fell into a deep slumber and hid itself.
The round White Boar Gu flapped its wings and flew in the sky, circling around.
The White Boar Gu and the Black Boar Gu were equally famous, both being rare Rank one Gu worms. Their selling price in the market was even higher than the Liquor worm.
However, although they had the same function and appearance, their future advancement paths were different.
The Black Boar Gu and the Green Silk Gu fused to form the Rank two Black Mane Gu, and the Rank three Steel Mane Gu.
As for the White Boar Gu, the best way to advance it was to fuse with the Jade Skin Gu to refine it into the Rank two White Jade Gu, and then to the Rank three Sky Canopy Gu.
The Steel Mane Gu could make a Gu Master's hair as hard as steel needles, combining both attack and defense. The Sky Canopy Gu causes the Gu Master's skin to be as hard as white jade, and at the same time reduces the effects of attacks like moonblades.
Fang Yuan's heart was filled with faint joy.
Obtaining the White Boar Gu was only one aspect. What truly made him happy was the Flower Wine Monk's strength inheritance.
"The White Boar Gu can increase strength, and the Flower Wine Monk also set up a huge rock to block the path. It seems he wants me to refine this White Boar Gu, and when I have strength in the future, I can push the rock away and continue moving forward. This should be the first test. "
"Following the Flower Wine Monk's intentions in setting up this round, I can deduce that in the following inheritance, there will definitely be a second and third round. The most important thing is that I can be sure that this strength inheritance he set up is not a huge trap, but a sincere one. "
"With this inheritance, I can reach Rank three even faster, and leave this Qing Mao mountain to roam the world and gain the upper hand!"
What did a Gu Master need the most when cultivating?
The answer was only one word — resources.
If Fang Yuan wanted to cultivate, he needed resources. But the clan's resources were limited, and if he wanted resources, he had to fight for them.
Not only did he have to fight for them, he also had to win in the fight.
To him, the more he fought, the more he won, the more his trump cards would be exposed, and the more people would be afraid of him.
When the fear accumulates to a certain extent, it would form a suppression, stopping him from moving forward.
Fang Yuan killed a family servant, why didn't the Mo family pursue it? He robbed all his peers, why didn't the elders punish him? Fang Yuan rebelled against the clan, not entering the system, why did the clan leader choose to tolerate him?
It was all because he was weak, a C grade talent.
They were confident in their strength, and disdained to kill the weak. Under the clan's system, haggling with the weak Fang Yuan was not only shameful, it would also make people feel that he was cold and heartless, ruining his social network.
Weakness was Fang Yuan's current protective umbrella.
But as he continued to fight for resources, Fang Yuan's performance would become stronger and stronger. This would make people focus on him, fear him, and rope him in. No matter which camp Fang Yuan chose, he would be suppressed and restricted by the other camp.
And the restriction and suppression would slow down his growth.
Fang Yuan was very clear of his current situation. His current situation was very mysterious, it seemed like he had offended everyone, but in reality, he had offended no one.
But as time passed, as his cultivation increased, this conflict would arise and intensify.
Fang Yuan knew that this conflict would intensify sooner or later, but the later it intensified, the better it would be for his growth.
Therefore, the Flower Wine Monk's power inheritance had appeared at the right time!
With this power inheritance, he would have an invisible resource. With this resource, he would be able to leave the system, walk his own path, calmly cultivate, and secretly accumulate strength.
Once he entered the system, he would have to choose a side. Even if he didn't fight, he would definitely be affected by politics and faction wars.
Once he entered the system, he would be a chess piece. He had to first become a qualified chess piece, only then would others be assured to use him. Only then would he have the chance to climb up, and when he climbed up, he had to be careful not to be used as a sacrificial pawn.
Fang Yuan knew this process all too well. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't do anything about this situation. This was the rule!
Most importantly, he only had C grade talent, and to the clan, there was no desire to invest in him. Often, he would be treated as a sacrificial pawn.
Therefore, the best path of development was to develop alone. That way, most of the competition could be avoided. In the hearts of the village's higher-ups, the image that they had painstakingly created could be maintained.
"In this world, it's easy to do things in the dark, but hard to do things in the open. With the Flower Wine Monk's power inheritance, I can cultivate in secret, accumulate strength, and not attract attention, and not be suppressed. But the robbery and extortion still have to continue. If I suddenly stop, it will arouse suspicion. At the same time, I also need Yuan stone. "Fang Yuan thought about his future plans.
He really needed Yuan stone.
Other people of the same age would start to refine and feed their second Gu worm. But he had refined the Little Light Gu, and obtained the White Boar Gu. He had a total of four Gu worms.
Previously, when he fed the Moonlight Gu and the Liquor worm, he consumed almost one Yuan stone a day. Now, when he fed the Gu worms, his daily consumption of Yuan stone was slightly more than two!
Adding on his cultivation needs and living expenses, he would need at least five Yuan stone a day!
Five Yuan stone was enough for a mortal family of three to live on for five months.
Although he had hundreds of Yuan stone on hand, it was not enough for such a long term expenditure.
More importantly, the Gu Master's expenditure would increase in the later stages. Especially after advancing to Rank two, every time the Gu worm was combined, it would require a considerable amount of money.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan was deeply worried.
Yuan stone was a problem. Just by robbing and extorting his classmates and his savings, he could only delay the outbreak of this problem.
Other than that, he had another problem, and that was the feeding of the White Boar Gu.
The food of the White Boar Gu was pork.
The word "boar" meant pig. The food of the Boar Gu was pork.
The Black and White Boar Gu's appetite was huge. Every five days, they had to eat an entire adult pig's meat.
In this world, the price of pork was not cheap. Mortals would only slaughter a pig during the new year, to get some meat. Without the large scale breeding techniques on Earth, the price of pork and beef was not something mortals could afford. At the same time, Qing Mao mountain's terrain was steep, and the living area was small. How much space was there to rear livestock?
The mountain people lived off the mountain, and the river water. The occasional pork that the mountain people could eat were mostly wild boars hunted by hunters.
"Looks like I have to hunt personally from now on, and kill the pigs for meat." Fang Yuan's eyes shone.
Just by buying pork from the village, firstly, it would waste Yuan stone, and secondly, it would attract suspicious gazes. Even if you love to eat pork, you wouldn't eat it so frequently and in so much quantities, right?
If he hunted personally, not only would this problem be solved, it would also ease the financial pressure.
"Waiter, bill please!" Thinking of this, Fang Yuan did not hesitate any longer. After paying the bill, he walked out of the inn.
The academy was on holiday these few days, and the goal was to let the students refine the second Gu worm. Fang Yuan decided that he would make use of this time to go out of the village and find out the situation, then kill the pigs for meat.
